Havelock Ellis once said, “Every artist writes his own autobiography.” J. D. Salinger, the author of the book "The Catcher in the Rye", is also an artist. Instead of painting on a canvas, Salinger writes on on paper. While he writes beautifully on the paper, he is also using real life experiances to show his emotions in his books. In "The Catcher in the Rye' J.D Salinger has not only told a beautiful story about a kid with a whole lot of problems, but he has shared some personal stories through the story of Holden Caufield. J.D Salinger is a very complicated author. Many unusual and horrific events have happened in this author during his life time. The way people find out about the different scars Salinger has is by reading his books because artists always put alittle bit of themselves in their artwork. In his case, Salinger is quite autobiographical in "The Catcher in the Rye." The three most noticing ways that Holden Caufield and J.D Salinger are alike, meaning that "The Catcher in the Rye," is autobiographical, are that they were both rebels or tried to be, they hated phonies which was everyone in their eyes, and they were hermits to society.
